in my experience, the state colleges are literal cops and are not private: they are literally the same as city police, with all the privileges and power that comes with it, which makes them subject to the same oversight.

you’re probably right about private colleges though.

jackson is an extremely common surname in the black community?? the fuck??

dunno, if it does, then yay?

popOS just because they have an installer that includes nvidia drivers out of the box.

the worse parts of our lives come from very few people in the ownership class, and they have names, and they have addresses.

i agree with the first part

yeah i’ll choose bear on this one

same, i also abuse free trials pretty hard.

(virtual credit cards and visa gift cards with little to no money on them work great)

insurance doesn’t cover everything, and the things they do not cover always just happen to be the most critical things necessary for treatment. it’s a scam.

i cannot believe they think we are stupid enough to accept that shooting rubber bullets at unarmed student protestors on public property is justified and morally correct.

paternalistic bullshit like that breeds hatred and contempt; they are making their own enemies in order to justify more crackdowns, and more fascist behavior.

it’s dark, but it will pass. i hope for the better.

jesus, well this is cementing my choice to move to a deep blue state to get away from people politicizing my existence.

jesus christ you should be shoved into a locker

hmm, this is sort of helpful.

this is pretty much what i think, yeah.

a lot of programming/software design is already kinda that anyway. it’s a bunch of people who were educated on computer science principles, data structures, mathematicians, and data analytics/stats who write code to specs to solve very specific tool problems for very specific subsets of workers, and who maintain/update legacy code written decades ago.

now, yeah, a lot things are coded from scratch, but even then, you’re referencing libraries of code written by someone awhile ago to solve this problem or serve this purpose or do thing, output thing. that’s where LLMs shine, imo.

i didn’t downvote you, regardless internet points don’t matter.

you’re not wrong, and i largely agree with what you’ve said, because i didn’t actually say a lot of the things your comment assumes.

the most efficient way i can describe what i mean is this:

LLMs (this is NOT AI) can, and will, replace more and more of us. however, there will never, ever be a time where there will be no human overseeing it because we design software for humans (generally), not for machines. this requires integral human knowledge, assumptions, intuition, etc.

exactly, this will eliminate some jobs, but anyone who’s asked an LLM to fix code longer than 400 lines knows it often hurts more than it helps.

which is why it is best used as a tool to debug code, or write boilerplate functions.

this rules, thank you!!

would a factory reset destroy any driver/codec updates, or are those a firmware based changes that wouldn’t be overwritten?

what a save!
what a save! what a save!

i hate microtransactions, but as they go, this implementation is fairly benign.
